The past century of telecommunications has shown that failures in networks are prevalent. Although much has been done to prevent failures, network nodes and links are bound to fail eventually. Failure recovery processes are therefore…

When dealing with node or link failures in Software Defined Networking (SDN), the network capability to establish an alternative path depends on controller reachability and on the round trip times (RTTs) between controller and involved…

Software Defined Networking (SDN) is a network paradigm shift that facilitates comprehensive network programmability to cope with emerging new technologies such as cloud computing and big data. SDN facilitates simplified and centralized…

The successful OpenFlow approach to Software Defined Networking (SDN) allows network programmability through a central controller able to orchestrate a set of dumb switches. However, the simple match/action abstraction of OpenFlow switches…

With the wide deployment of network facilities and the increasing requirement of network reliability, the disruptive event like natural disaster, power outage or malicious attack has become a non-negligible threat to the current…

Datacenter networks and services are at risk in the face of disasters. Existing fault-tolerant storage services cannot even achieve a nil recovery point objective (RPO) as client-generated data may get lost before the termination of their…

Software Defined Networking (SDN) brings numbers of advantages along with many challenges. One particular concern is on the control-plane resilience, while the existing protection approaches proposed for SDN networks mainly focus on…

Software Defined Networking (SDN) is a new networking architecture which aims to provide better decoupling between network control (control plane) and data forwarding functionalities (data plane). This separation introduces several…

Software defined networking (SDN) promises unprecedented flexibility and ease of network operations. While flexibility is an important factor when leveraging advantages of a new technology, critical infrastructure networks also have…

In this work, we propose online traffic engineering as a novel approach to detect and mitigate an emerging class of stealthy Denial of Service (DoS) link-flooding attacks. Our approach exploits the Software Defined Networking (SDN)…

Being a state-of-the-art network, Software Defined Networking (SDN) decouples control and management planes from data plane of the forwarding devices by implementing both the control and management planes at logically centralized entity,…

Software Defined Networks (SDN) decouple the forwarding and control planes from each other. The control plane is assumed to have a global knowledge of the underlying physical and/or logical network topology so that it can monitor, abstract…

With the passage of time and indulgence in Information Technology, network management has proved its significance and has become one of the most important and challenging task in today's era of information flow. Communication networks…

The Software Defined Networking (SDN) paradigm decouples control and data planes, offering high programmability and a global view of the network. However, it is a challenge not only provide security in these next generation networks as well…

Providing resilient network control is a critical concern for deploying Software-Defined Networking (SDN) into Wide-Area Networks (WANs). For performance reasons, a Software-Defined WAN is divided into multiple domains controlled by…

In a reliable SDN environment, different controllers coordinate different switches and backup controllers can be set in place to tolerate faults. This approach increases the challenge to maintain a consistent network view. If this global…

The possibility of programming the control and data planes, enabled by the Software-Defined Networking (SDN) paradigm, represents a fertile ground on top of which novel operation and management mechanisms can be fully explored, being…

In networks, availability is of paramount importance. As link failures are disruptive, modern networks in turn provide Fast ReRoute (FRR) mechanisms to rapidly restore connectivity. However, existing FRR approaches heavily impact…

SDN controllers must be periodically modified to add features, improve performance, and fix bugs, but current techniques for implementing dynamic updates are inadequate. Simply halting old controllers and bringing up new ones can cause…

With the rise of Software Defined Networks (SDN), there is growing interest in dynamic and centralized traffic engineering, where decisions about forwarding paths are taken dynamically from a network-wide perspective. Frequent path…
